Wilson IV Stand Up? http://www.observer.com/node/33212 Something popped out of yesterday's Times report on the Libby-Cheney leak investigation: the name Joseph C. Wilson IV.

I thought the ambassador's name was Joe Wilson, or as his book, The Politics of Truth, is bylined, Joseph Wilson. I was curious about who all the other Joseph C. Wilsons were and I leafed through the book. Nothing. He says his mother's family was a big political family in California, but only says that his parents were "expatriate journalists and authors," though his father also "had a couple of jobs bringing American products to European customers, but the enterprises didn't work out." That's not very forthcoming. I have the strong sense that Wilson, former ski bum and diplomat, is a rich kid.

Yes, he was right about Niger, and we can hope this case brings Karl Rove and Dick Cheney down—but what sort of packaging is going on? Could the truthteller have a little more plain dealing about his own background?]]> http://www.observer.com/node/33212#comments Dick Cheney Joe Wilson Joseph Wilson Karl Rove Fri, 26 May 2006 03:08:13 -0400 Observer Staff 33212 at http://www.observer.com Bush's Aides Scramble As Inquiry Winds Down http://www.observer.com/node/51437 Whatever indictments may or may not have issued from the grand jury sitting in Washington by the pub  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/51437#comments Joseph Wilson Karl Rove The White House Sun, 30 Oct 2005 19:00:00 -0500 Joe Conason 51437 at http://www.observer.com Step Into...

In honor of Salon's new women-only blog, The Broadsheet, where the ladies of Salon are speed-posting Rita Dove poems, meditations about Kotex advertisements, and a shocking new theory that the White House's smear of Joseph Wilson was intended to be emasculating, the New York Observer was also thinking of getting its very own women's blog! (After all, we have lots of funky office estrogen to vent too!)

But, as usual, the gals around the office couldn't get it together to even settle on a name for their new blog. Apparently, a vicious (yes) cat-fight broke out over the first proposal, "The Litterbox." Then, "ObservHer" didn't pick up much traction, and, at the end of that conversation, senior editor Suzy Hansen got shot with a stapler over suggesting that variant proposal "Catbox" just be shortened to "Box." (Yeah, that didn't go over big with the feminist majority.)

In the end, we just decided to launch a men's blog instead, since, you know, men actually get things done instead of just jawing about them all day long. (Oh, don't look at us like that, gals!) So, without further ado, welcome to... The Cockpit!
WTF, Stemware You guys, last night after we closed the paper, when we totally went out for dude-food at 1 a.m., and had to go to that stupid French place on Park Avenue, and I ordered that beer?
